Back on Track Obsidian 150g Black Turnout Blanket w/Neck Cover

The “Obsidian” turnout blanket in classic black, is extremely elegant and multifunctional with a matching neck piece – designed to maximize freedom of movement and minimize the risk of pressure and chafing. The anatomical fit follows the contours of the horse and a soft pressure-absorbing foam lifts the blanket slightly over the withers for increased comfort.

“Obsidian” 150g has a light heat-insulating filling that makes it well suited for chilly weather. The accompanying neck protector has a 100g filling and is easily attached to the blanket with the help of hook and loop.

Both the blanket and the neck cover are made of a water-repellent material (5000mm-3000gsm) with very good breathability. The lining consists of a woven textile whose smooth surface prevents chafing. The Welltex® technology in the material strongly reflects the horse’s body heat in the form of infrared energy (FIR).

“Obsidian” envelops a large part of the horse’s body in Welltex®, which stimulates blood circulation in the large muscle groups, increases the horse’s well-being and can promote softness and mobility in muscles and joints. The effect can also help relieve problems with stiffness, inflammation and osteoarthritis.

The blanket is effectively held in place with the help of double shoulder buckles, V-front closures, X-surcingles under the belly and a plastic-covered tail strap with D-rings. The design makes it fit perfectly together with Back on Track’s Rhyolite liner and other liners.

The black blanket and neck guard are equipped with reflective piping for increased visibility and safety.

“Obsidian” comes in a large, sturdy bag with carrying straps, which can be reused as a hay bag, for example.

Washing Instructions

All Back on Track products perform best when kept clean. Always follow the washing instructions on the product label. The minerals that give the effect are infused into the material and cannot be washed out or worn away.

Common Washing Tips:

• The garments should air-dry or can be tumble dried on low heat – remove immediately from dryer.
• Do not wash with bleach or rinse aid.
• Wash colors separately and invert the garments before washing.
• For knitted garments, we recommend that the product be dried flat on a towel for best results.
• Waterproof and water-resistant products must be washed with a suitable detergent.
• Iontex® and Haematex™ garments (a similar technology to Welltex®) or other sportswear that contains cotton or viscose may shrink when washed for the first time. If this happens, gently stretch the garment while it is still wet in order to regain its original size and shape.
• Do not store the products in direct sunlight for extended periods of time.

The minerals in the products have been known in many cases to counteract bad smells. This added benefit in combination with an ordinary gentle detergent, should produce the results you are looking for.

Detergents for sportswear usually contain cleaning agents that can damage our textiles, please check the ingredients before using these agents. These agents include Aluminum Chloride, Enzymes, Silver, and Citrine. These substances can impact the structure of our Welltex^® minerals and in turn affect the products’ performance outcomes.
